Damn dogg…
I’ve also been using Dean as a balm for the terror that GWB heaps on my psyche. His rising campaign star of the past few weeks along with a deteriorating situation in Iraq at times gives me a glimmer of hope that George might not end up as president-for-life with a Supreme court of William Pryors to keep him there while we’re forced to watch on Fox News.
Then there’s this kind of talk.
And I’m tempted to return to my protective shell of apathy. I guess things will become clearer as the campaign presses on.
I’m still hopeful though. If nothing else, even if Dean turns out to be just the candidate that Bush would want to run against, he’s got to get through a Democratic convention to do it.
And that has to prove something about his fitness as compared to the rest of the Democrats. So this time, it may be possible to vote your conscience without screwing your country in the process.

Nor did mine.
I was honestly hoping Ralphie boy would score enough votes to get matching funds to run again in 2004.

Certainly.
But just for argument’s sake (isn’t it all?) wouldn’t liberal outrage be a little more palatable if Gore had won the popular vote by a million instead of 300,000? Is it slightly possible that the justices would have had a harder time deciding Bush v Gore?
On the positive side, Nader (are there crackpot activists online who refer to him as “Nadir” in online forums? That’d be a good one.) exposed the liberal/centrist split in the party. We know the problem, and even though the DLC doesn’t care, maybe the next election will further clarify the point.
sheesh, I read a couple of salon articles and I sound like I have an opinion.
